Question

How do you find the answer for
3(5x+20)=45

Answer 1

Step 1. Divide both sides by
`3`


`5x+20= (45)/(3)`

Step 2. Simplify
`(45)/(3)` to
`15`


`5x+20=15`

Step 3. Subtract
`20` from both sides


`5x=15-20`

Step 4. Simplify
`15-20` to
`-5`


`5x=-5`

Step 5. Divide both sides by
`5`


`x=-1`

Done! Your answer is
`x=-1`

Answer 2

3(5x+20)=45
3 times 5x=
15x
3 times 20= 60
15x +60=45
45-60=-15
15x=-15
-15 divided by 15x=
-1x=
x=1
